Vicari: Affordable Care Act is waging price war on women

As a member of Concerned Women for America, I think it’s important Louisiana women hear how the president’s health care law will affect them.

The Manhattan Institute analyzed the Health and Human Services numbers and found that under ObamaCare younger men will pay between 97 and 99 percent more for health insurance, and younger women will pay an average of 55 to 62 percent more.

ObamaCare’s “war on women” doesn’t stop with the young. Senior Louisiana women who are on Medicare will find that fewer doctors and health care providers take it. President Obama took $716 billion from Medicare to help pay for ObamaCare, in part, by slashing the reimbursement rates to hospitals, doctors, and nursing homes. Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Louisiana just notified 13,000 seniors that they will no longer cover Medicare Part D for prescriptions due to ObamaCare. Grandma is getting thrown under the bus.

As we find out more about the president’s health care Law, Louisiana’s future under the ObamaCare is clear: citizens will either pay costly premiums or crippling fines. Clearly, it is the Affordable Care Act that must be deemed unworthy and unconstitutional, not our freedoms.
